* Kind of an ongoing story, and it’s one of several reasons why I hope he does not become Attorney General. Another closely related reason is that he was square on the wrong side of the Mizzou issue, though that’s not a shock for the state senator whose district includes Mizzou to do that. That, and I just get creepy vibes from the man. I think the odds are high enough that one day he’ll be headline news for a really naughty reason such that I can predict it.

* President Obama is going to use his last several months in office on World War T. When a liberal Democrat politician really turns up the squak box on social justice warriorism to deafening levels, I presume it’s all a diversion to what they’re really going to do and what they don’t want anyone, especially not populist liberals of the Dime Store Indian slash Feel the Bern mode, to notice: That they’re about to sell out the store to plutocrats on trade deals, tax policies, this, that or the other.

I also love how Politico thinks this will drive Democrat turnout in November; last I read, Ts are 0.1% of the population.

* WRPT, though it seems to me that hot sauce packets don’t have enough hot sauce in them really to work up a fit of rage over. But then again, these are the same kind of people that murder over kool aid.

* Strange, upon seeing this story, I read the stories about him on the sites that tell you “five fast facts” or what not about every person in a hot breaking news story, but I couldn’t find the answer to the question I had and the most obvious question that should have been asked, but wasn’t. But, on an ancestry site, I was able to find out that 86% of people in the world with the surname Tordil are in the Philippines.

* Two major theories I’ve heard about the root of transgenderism among men who change to women are autogynephilia and mediocrity. The first is that a man is such an egomaniac that he can’t possibly love any real world women, he can only love and indeed falls in love with the hypothetical female version of himself, so he changes to a woman (either superficially or surgically) just to have someone to love. The second is that some men don’t quite think they’ve made it as a man, so they change to woman, (again, either superficially or surgically), so that they, as previously mediocre men, are all of a sudden superlative women, e.g. Martin(e) Rothblatt.

Yet another theory I’ve heard in the last week is that a lot of gay men want the kind of straight men that don’t want gay men, duh, because they’re straight. So they “trans” to women in order to try and make them. That actually would explain why, in the Grand Acronym, Gs are so sociopolitically defensive of Ts, and think that an attack on Ts is an attack on Gs and respond in kind, (other than the mutual defense treaty), when at least on the surface, T has nothing to do with G.

* Remember when Gilbert conned the Beaver into making a face with him in the school yearbook class picture? Beaver made the face but Gilbert didn’t.

* Mercury transits happen way more often than Venus transits, so at least by comparison, they are not that rare. Also, before today’s transit, Mercury had a pretty wide elongation which made its recent evening star visibility some of the best we’ll ever have, so I hope you had a chance to catch it.

Dunno. Mormons have a weird concept of God. They’re non-Trinitarian. Each Person is a separate entity. Some of them believe that Adam is the same as God the Father and Jesus is the same as Jehovah. Some of them believe that Lucifer is Jesus’s brother. Others believe that the Heavenly Mother is part of the Godhead.

There’s really no telling which god he’s talking about.

Wrong, Beck. Only the Republican half of the US deserve plagues and boils. Not fair to blame the Dhimmicrats for this one.

The first paragraph of Trump’s Christie running TranTeam announcement:

Today Donald J. Trump announced Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ) will serve as Transition Team Chairman. Mr. Trump is the presumptive Presidential nominee for the Republican Party and continues to take critical steps to gear up for the general election against potential Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, or whoever.

“Or whoever?” He’s probably just trolling HRC for the fact that she hasn’t totally put Bern away by this point, and hasn’t done it before he put way the Republican field.
